Golden Nuggets: No more rants... after today.

There's not too much going on today, save for the OC hunt possibly ending, which brings up yet ANOTHER thing that bugs me--people saying that "Singletary has to make a decision now or..." No, no he doesn't. For one, we'll have two extra training camps. For two, what's going to happen if he doesn't yet? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Quit being so impatient and let the man do his job. One other thing I've noticed is that I've turned this opening statement into more of a daily rant and starting tomorrow (this is my pledge, forgive me if I don't stick to it EVERY DAY) I will STOP the ranting if possible. Also, don't get me started on this stadium nonsense... Just take some links.

In case you missed Fooch's post, make sure you give it a read. Former 49ers WR Billy Wilson passed away yesterday. (NinersNation.com)

Here's the link on that from Maiocco. (PressDemocrat.com)

The shared stadium just wont work, I don't feel it will and I'm already sick of the issue. (SFGate.com)

So the Houshmandzadeh thing is a full-blown rumor now. Would Jackson enable us a better chance at getting Housh if he is hired as our OC? Do we want him? (MercuryNews.com)

That's all I've got for now.

Jackson sounds fine

Fullback, another running back. That’s what I want for Valentine’s Day. Or Arbor Day.

I love Clayton in August.

For some reason the Niners, even when they were short on running backs last year, never would activate him. And no one else in the league signed him off our taxi squad. So the question I have is why no one in the NFL sees what I see.

Now I’d love for Clayton to step up in camp and earn a spot on the roster on opening day. Robinson was averaging two and a half yards a game last year, so whatever the Niners see in him as a running back I don’t see it. (Okay, he’s fine if he’s out in open space and you throw him a pass, but if you need two yards for a first down he’ll get you a yard and a half.) I’m not all that happy with Foster either. I think he’s lost a step. Heck, even Frank was only getting four yards a carry last year. Part of that was Martz’ offense (and the lack of a real fullback to open up things), part was inconsistent line play in the first half of the season, but for a team that wants to focus on a ball control smashmouth offense they seem to be lacking in a stable of horses to run it for them.

I sure hope that Clayton steps up. But having another talented running back in the mix wouldn’t hurt. Look at what the Giants did last year.
